Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，回答問題

One Saturday afternoon, Tom and his sister, Viv, were having tea in a café. Tom was telling Viv about his history project. “On Monday I am giving a speech in front of the class. It will be about famous inventions,” Tom told Viv. “Let’s go to the public library and find a book on inventions,” suggested Viv. “We’ll call the library first to see what time it closes.”

They walked over to an old telephone box and went inside. Just as Viv was about to ring ‘1888’, the number for Directory Enquiries（電話號查詢臺）, there was a loud crash outside the phone box. A woman had dropped her shopping bags.

Viv dialed the number. When she had finished, the telephone box started shaking, and a loud noise filled their ears. The shopping centre disappeared, and everything went dark. Suddenly there was a big bump. The telephone box stopped shaking and everything was quiet. Tom and Viv looked out of the window. They couldn’t believe their eyes! They were in the middle of a large field. Tom pushed the door and stepped outside.

“This is amazing!” he said. “I think we’ve travelled through time.” Suddenly some men on horses appeared. They were wearing strange clothes. They saw the children and started riding towards them, shouting.

“Let’s get out of here!” Tom shouted. They ran back inside and closed the door behind them.

“Those men look like people from the past,” Tom said. “You dialed the number ‘1888’ for Directory Enquiries. If we dial ‘2018’, perhaps we’ll return home.”

Tom dialed the number. He was nervous, however, and dialed ‘3010’ by mistake. The telephone box started shaking again, and the field disappeared. There was another large bump. Looking outside, the children saw strange buildings and cars. A face suddenly appeared outside the window. The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear.

“I don’t want to be in the future. I want to go home,” said Viv. Tom quickly dialed ‘2018’. Soon they were back in the shopping centre. Outside, a woman was picking up some shopping bags that she had dropped. Tom recognized the woman. “We’re back! Let’s help that woman with her shopping bags,” he said.

“Thank you. You’re very kind,” the woman replied to Tom’s offer of help.

She turned to look at the children. Tom and Viv jumped in horror. The woman had three eyes…

本文講述的是穿越的故事。湯姆和妹妹去電話亭打電話，湯姆撥打了電話號查詢臺1888，結(jié)果穿越到了1888年，他們趕緊撥打2010，然后就回到了現(xiàn)在，接著又錯誤的撥打了3010，又穿越到了3010年，看到了一個三個眼睛的女人。接著他們趕緊撥打2010，回到了現(xiàn)在，卻又發(fā)現(xiàn)了那個三個眼睛的女人。

【1】題意：湯姆會在班上發(fā)表什么演講？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段第一和二句On Monday I am giving a speech in front of the class．It will be about famous inventions（星期一我要在全班同學(xué)面前演講，講的是著名的發(fā)明）可知湯姆將要做一個關(guān)于著名的發(fā)明的演講，故答案為：A speech about famous inventions．

【2】題意：他們知道公共圖書館的電話號碼嗎？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段第5句至第二段第2句Tom told Viv. “Let’s go to the public library and find a book on inventions,” suggested Viv. “We’ll call the library first to see what time it closes.”

They walked over to an old telephone box and went inside. Just as Viv was about to ring‘1888'，the number for Directory Enquiries， there was a loud crash outside the phone box.（“我們?nèi)ス�共圖書館找一本關(guān)于發(fā)明的書，”維夫建議道�！拔覀兿冉o圖書館打電話，看看什么時候關(guān)門�！彼麄冏叩揭粋�舊電話亭前，走了進去。就在維夫要打電話到1888的時候，這個電話號碼是電話號查詢臺，電話亭外有一聲巨響。）可知他們不知道圖書館的電話，故答案為：No．/No，they didn't．

【3】題意：他們是如何穿越時間到達過去的？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)Just as Viv was about to ring‘1888'，the number for Directory Enquiries（電話號查詢臺），there was a loud crash outside the phone box．（就在維夫要打電話到1888的時候，這個電話號碼是電話號查詢臺，電話亭外有一聲巨響。）和下文Viv dialed the number. When she had finished, the telephone box started shaking, and a loud noise filled their ears.（維夫撥了號碼。當(dāng)她撥完電話后，電話亭開始搖晃，他們的耳朵里充滿了巨大的噪音。）可知他們是通過撥打1888穿越的，故答案為：By dialing 1888。

【4】題意：哪一個號碼可以讓他們回家？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第5段最后一句If we dial ‘2018’, perhaps we’ll return home.”（如果我們撥“2018”，也許我們會回家。）可知答案是2018。

【5】題意：那個女人可能是哪里人？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第5段第2句He was nervous, however, and dialed ‘3010’ by mistake. The telephone box started shaking again, and the field disappeared. There was another large bump. Looking outside, the children saw strange buildings and cars. A face suddenly appeared outside the window. The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear.（但他很緊張，誤撥了“3010”。電話亭又開始搖晃，田野消失了。又一個震動�？粗�外面，孩子們看到了奇怪的建筑物和汽車。一張臉突然出現(xiàn)在窗外。那個人有三只眼睛！維夫害怕地喊道。）和最后一段She turned to look at the children．Tom and Viv jumped in horror．The woman had three eyes…The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear（她轉(zhuǎn)身看著孩子們。湯姆和維夫嚇得跳了起來。那個女人有三只眼睛……那個人有三只眼睛！維夫害怕地喊道）可以推測出這個婦女來自未來．故答案為：The future．/The year 3010．。
